Benefit Actions

Examples of Benefit Actions that can be created are:

• Service Entitlements to define service SLAs
• Partner Fund Allocations (market development funds) for defining fund allocations for lead generation and nurturing
• Voucher issuance

Benefit Actions can be invoked in the following ways:

• When a new benefit is assigned to a member:

  The Benefit Action is always invoked when a new benefit is assigned. For example, when a member changes from Silver to Gold tier and is eligible for Priority Support.

• When the benefit is updated:

  The Benefit Action execution is optional when a new benefit is updated. The execution is based on the Benefit Action definition. For example, when a member retains Gold tier and the period for the Priority Support must be extended.

• When the benefit no longer applies:

  The Benefit Action execution is optional and based on the Benefit Action definition. For example, when a member moves from Gold to Silver tier and the Priority Support benefit no longer applies.

Note The same Benefit Action is triggered for all the preceding scenarios based on the Benefit Action configuration. Depending on the status of the Member Benefit, the appropriate behavior is defined.
